I play a 10min blitz game and I get disconnected. My disconnections on average last about 1 minute, which is exactly the time in which the game is abandoned, which is extremely frustrating.
If I disconnect with 8 minutes on the clock, why shouldn't I be able to continue playing after a disconnection? How is it any different than waiting for a minute before making a move? A person can go make coffee, come back 5 minutes later and continue and win the game, but I can't disconnect for even one minute before losing!?
I'm very frustrated
Disconnect times are based on the time control and if you are beyond move 10 (before falls under the long move timer rules):
Disconnect timer
Another way a game can be ruled as abandoned is if you disconnect for too long. How long you can stay disconnected before the game ends is based on the time controls. The rule is, if you’re disconnected, you have 10% of the base time plus 40 x increment, with a minimum of 30 seconds and a maximum of 3 minutes to reconnect. If you can’t reconnect in this amount of time, the game will be ended.
